Automating, Optimizing, and Improving. An introduction to Microsoft Flow & PowerApps

In this SharePoint/Office 365 User Group session, we demonstrate the convergence of Microsoft technologies and will show the group how SharePoint, Microsoft Flow, and PowerApps come together to automate a critical business process. Kiefer Senior Consultant, Satya Cherukumilli, will demonstrate how he automated and optimized a business workflow using Microsoft Flow and PowerApps.

The demo will show how a workflow is kicked-off, the process of routing and review, and ultimately, how approvals work in the workflow. We will give you an up-close look at how the solution was built, how it can have a significant impact on a process that is manual in nature or paper-based. The demo will focus on a simple workflow that is common across all organizations, large and small! We’ll also share other practical applications for Flow and PowerApps in this informative 1-hour session.
